Fresh Take: Sarah Davis on Parenting Through Sticky Social Situations

Are we different parents in public than we are in private? Does good parenting sometimes look like bad manners? We discuss with Sarah Davis, co-author of Modern Manners for Moms and Dads: Practical Parenting Solutions for Sticky Social Situations.


In our latest “Fresh Take" episode we’re talking to Dr. Sarah Davis, co-author of the new book Modern Manners for Moms and Dads: Practical Parenting Solutions for Sticky Social Situations and co-host of the podcast “Modern Manners for Moms and Dads with Evie and Sarah.” 


Evie and Sarah’s book sounds like a treatise on teaching little ones to fold their napkins, but it’s much more than a list of dos and don’ts. This book is for anyone who’s a parent to a little one in the world outside their private home.

In this episode we discuss


  • why we’re sometimes different parents in public than we are in private
  • why good parenting can sometimes look like bad manners
  • the most common parenting faux-pas Evie and Sarah have seen
  • how to balance our own needs, our child’s, and everyone else’s in social situations
